1. Panasonic FZ18.. (retail price: SGD749 , 2GB card, carrying case)
2. Sony DSC H7.. (retail price: SGD599 ,2GB card,carrying case)

there u see.. the price difference is down to $108.. :bsmilie: and not to forget Sony always place a premium price over its products.. so a higher price might not necessary mean a better camera..

Was quite interested in getting a prosumer some time back as a carry-around. Comparing spec-for-spec, I would actually go for the fz-18 (even though i am quite a Sony supporter and using their alpha700)

Handling and performance wise you really have to handle the cameras yourself to judge. :)
 

heh..

went to get it already.

chose panasonic anyways.

sony's built wasnt to my liking.. (it feels like a toy instead...)
